You people
Every single year I read this and then watch as we barely make the post season, and that extends to football and baseball as well.
Hope (and hyperbole) always spring eternal in the offseason. This would be roughly year 5 of the "most complete roster" since (insert time period).
We haven't seen this collective group of players play together. We haven't seen them shoot. We haven't seen them rebound. We haven't seen them defend. So I'm a bit unwilling to compare them to a Final Four team just yet.
Now, it is a roster that looks to be much better than what many expected could be compiled going into next season. It's a roster that looks like it can, at least, compete in the SEC. Perhaps even make the NCAA Tournament. But just because LSU doesn't look like they will lose (almost) every SEC game for the next two seasons now (as some predicted a few weeks back), doesn't mean the expectation level should switch from ridiculously low to ridiculously high. LSU's success or lack thereof doesn't exist in a vacuum. There are other teams in the SEC that can play. EVERY team is trying to improve from last season (there will be 6 teams with new HC's this year). LSU will probably be picked in the preseason to finish between 7th and 8th in the conference. That's a good baseline for EXPECTATIONS (not hope) and definitely not bad considering where the roster was 6 weeks ago.
